exhibition · 2026-04-22

From September 12 to November 1, 2015, Tracy Williams Ltd, located at 55 Hester Street, New York, showcased Morgane Tschiember's solo exhibition titled 'Almost a Kiss.' This exhibition presented sculptures that delved into themes of sexual tension, control, and non-verbal bodily expressions. A striking pink wall painting adorned the space, featuring drips, while four glass-and-steel sculptures named Dust Devil (2015) were included, with both smaller wall-mounted versions and a larger piece on the floor. The installation Shibari displayed eight interpretations of Japanese rope bondage, with pottery shards hanging from a steel framework. Additionally, two concrete sculptures on the first floor, Rash (Couple) and Rash (Triplet), evoked body language, fostering an atmosphere of suspended anticipation.
